"Paulele Beach House" Perfect Hanalei location & great views
Paulele is a beautiful Hawaiian-style home right on the closest beach road (Weke Rd.) on breathtaking Hanalei Bay! This tasteful and comfortable home has four bedrooms, five baths, a fully-equipped kitchen, and it comes with everything you’ll need for a wonderful visit to this 'Old Hawaii' Garden Island paradise. You’ll enjoy spectacular ocean, mountain, and waterfall views from many areas of the home and the world-renowned Hanalei Point surf break is in full view from the convenience of your front lanai! With the short path to the beach just two lots over, you're 100 yards from hitting the sand.
There are two similar primary suites, each with king beds, spacious bathrooms, as well as private entrances and lanais. The third bedroom has two twin beds, which can be converted to a king, and full bath with tub, while the lower level fourth bedroom has a king bed, shower bath, and private entrance. For your comfort and convenience, there is an outdoor bamboo enclosed hot water shower, laundry room, covered shuffleboard court, and covered hammock, as well as lots of beach gear (beach towels, mats, chairs, sun umbrellas, beach cart) and yard games (horseshoes, bocce ball, badminton and croquet).
The dining area has fabulous mountain and ocean views and seats eight, with additional stools at the bar and a four chair game table with plenty of games, puzzles, and books. Many guests feel our home to be a destination in itself with so many comfortable areas to spend time. And best of all, the warm water and beautiful sand beach of Hanalei Bay is just across the street! Generally, the ocean is calm in the summer and surf is bigger in the winter, sometimes reaching ‘big wave’ status. Located within ten minutes of several north shore beaches, you’ll have many options for swimming, surfing, wind and kite surfing, snorkeling, and many other activities. The famous NaPali Coast trail has its main access just down the road.
A short walk from the home is quaint Hanalei town with its many shops and restaurants. Hanalei Bay is one of Hawaii’s most beautiful and pristine beaches, with only private homes, no hotels or condos, built on the beach.
With Paulele, you’ll have the pleasure of walking to the beach any time of day, from the solitude of sunrise to the glory of a Hanalei sunset, while having all the comforts of home. And unlike those in Princeville and other parts of the island who have to drive to the beach at Hanalei, you’re already there! We love our Hanalei home and trust that like guests before you, you will too! For a virtual tour, go to third photo. We are happy to answer any of your questions and look forward to hearing from you soon to help plan your tropical getaway!

Paulele Beach House has it all: great location to beach and shops/restaurants, ocean view, spectacular mountain view, the beach house is set up perfectly for an extended family vacation. Large gathering areas indoors and outdoor accommodated all our needs. This is the perfect house for a wonderful Kauai vacation experience
This house was utterly magical! The views, the location, the comfort, the amenities. It’s our fourth house we’ve rented and the only one I would want to return to.
This spacious and perfectly situated property was the greatest way to introduce my family to Kauai, specifically Hanalei. Made many memories and vowed to come back!
This home was amazing in almost every way. Clean, well equipped with everything you need for your beach vacation and the location was incredible. With such a short walk to beach access we spent almost all of our time on the beach at Hanalei Bay, but when it was time to head home to clean up or cook a meal we looked forward to spending time at this beautiful and well cared for home. Highly recommended and we will certainly be back!
We lived this property.
Cozy, plenty of room, gorgeous views, easy walk to everything. On top of it all, the host was so easy to work with and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.
We will definitely be choosing to stay here again.
Paulele!! Perfect home in a perfect spot near Hanalei Bay! The views of the mountains through all the dense foliage around the home were particularly special. Tyler could not have been more accommodating in arranging our stay and giving us local tips. We found the house full of character, clean as a whistle and an ideal home away from home for a relaxing respite. We really enjoyed it in the rain and even came to adore the roosters who woke us up every morning. Everything we needed for our little walks to the beach was close at hand. Being near town worked so well for us. This was our first trip to Hawaii, and we cannot wait to return to Kauai!
House is as described. you see that the owners love the place and take good care.
wonderful layout, especially the two secluded primary suites - which are the bedrooms we used.
Short walk to the beach and Hanalei shops and restaurants.
We had 8 adults stay for one week. The house and sleeping rooms are enormous, which allowed everyone to have the space they needed. The house was clean and well equipped. The location to the beach (less than 0.1 miles to the access strip) was amazing and allowed for easy transport of beach toys etc. The proximity to town was incredible too. We would absolutely stay here again!!
Nice Family Stay with Great Location - Walk to Everything
We enjoyed our stay and the owners were super responsive and helpful. Good setup with two master suites. It was warm in the living areas late in the day and took some time for the house to cool down at night making it hard to sleep in the twin bedroom - maybe to be expected in July. The outdoor porches were great and easy access to the beach path. Thanks.
My family was so lucky to find this incredible place in Hanalei. The area is possibly the most beautiful in Hawaii and the house was classy, comfortable, and just steps from the beach. Original woodwork and charm throughout, with high-end updates where you’d want them. The perfect place to unplug, unwind, and marvel at the beauty of Hawaii. And the owner Tyler was gracious to a fault and made sure we had all the local information we needed. Thanks Tyler!
The Paulele Beach House is a very special place. It has everything you need, full kitchen, a large dining table that has a gorgeous view of the mountains, several seating areas to gather as a family or have your own private space, laundry room, bikes, and all the beach gear including beach toys for young children. The beach is only a short walk away, as is the little shopping area of Hanalei.
Tyler was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this home for a stay in Hanalei. The only difficult part is leaving at the end of your stay, which was the case for my family.
Our trip was a 50th wedding anniversary for my parents and we had three generations going right after the holidays. The property was perfect, it is easily walkable to food and restaurants for coffee in the morning and closer to the beach
For the rest of the day! It is stocked with anything you could need too, chairs umbrellas even a surfboard all in great condition. The hosts gave us great recommendations for renting baby equipment and any other questions were promptly answered. I would highly recommend the experience.
We had an amazing stay in Paulele Beach House! The house was clean, well stocked and a fantastic location for walking to the beach all with a funky beach house vibe that we really enjoyed. Our kids are 6 & 9 and we were comfortable with them in the main house while we enjoyed privacy in the upstairs master bedroom that is just a few steps away under the lovely covered porch. We traveled with another couple who stayed in the downstairs master bedroom and everyone felt like they had a nice bit of privacy. The avocado and citrus trees in the backyard were a nice bonus as well as the double washer and dryer!
Wonderful Home, Wonderful Location, and Wonderful Owner
This house was just right for our family (my brother and his kids, my mom, and my wife and I). The home was represented well in the Listing, Tyler was a pleasure to communicate with, and the location was perfect for us. So easy to run to town to grab a bite to eat, or pick up groceries by walking or riding one of the bicycles. The beach access was awesome and the beach at Hanalei Bay was amazing!
A little secrect for those yet to stay, search through the beach toy box, we found some fun toys in the bottom!
Tyler- Thank you to you and your family for such a wonderful vacation!
Fantastic property. 3 minute walk to the beach, <10 minute walk to Hanalei town. We went days without even getting in the car.
The house is wonderfully comfortable. All rooms are well appointed with a classic Hawaiian vibe, and the views out through the valley are stunning. The property grounds have lush, beautiful landscaping that truly makes you feel like you're in a jungle resort.
The layout of the separate suites provided the right amount of privacy for each of us. We loved the shuffleboard, and the upper deck was great for my baby as she was learning to crawl. They had everything you would need for the beach, and the beach wagon was especially useful.
Only tip: bring your own soap, there was only shampoo and conditioner in the bathrooms.
Paulele is paradise. Our family of 4 had the most magical vacation at this gem of a beach house. It’s clean, spacious and comfortable, and perfectly situated to walk to the beach or town. The layout is a bit funky but we enjoyed being able to spread out and enjoy the outdoor spaces. I’m sensitive to heat so I did worry the lack of AC would be an issue, but during our stay in June it wasn’t a problem. The cool breezes kept us comfortable. We also had a blast playing shuffleboard, and we loved the conveniences, including laundry and great beach gear- including a wagon to haul it all! Don’t hesitate to book this sweet little house!
Our family of 6 stayed here at the home for a week. Our 4 teenage daughters were in heaven. They walked to the beach everyday and walked or ride provided bikes into town to get shaved ice or snacks. We played games on the expansive deck with views out to the Ocean. The home is beautiful decorated and charming. The beds are very comfortable and it has everything you need to be comfortable. We enjoyed the provided beach towels, boogie boards and surf board. The kitchen was well stocked. Tyler was extremely responsive and helpful. We fell in love with this home and will definitely come back. It was perfect. We are so sad to leave. Thank you Tyler!
Our group of 7 adults (generally speaking!) had an absolutely marvelous time staying for two weeks staying in Paulele. The home is perfect for a large group! There’s plenty of room to spread out and enjoy some quiet time soaking up the magnificent sights, sounds and smells of magical Hanalei. Tyler was extremely helpful during the entire process; from making initial plans about the house to helping us chart our activities. Paulette House exceeded our expectations in many ways!
We all agree that it was one of our favorite family trips ever. Goofy dancing, amazing conversations, silly games, incredible meals and magic moments. On our second to last day, we learned of our son’s pending engagement. Needless to say it was a very special trip!

About the host
Hosted by Tyler Newman
My parents fell in love with Kauai in the early 90's while renting the home that is now "Paulele". Looking to call a part of this place home, they looked for 3 years at just about everything that came up for sale in Hanalei, but didn't like anything as much as this house. Without ever going on the market, the previous owners (who lived in Australia) finally succumbed to my parents persistence and sold them the home in 1999. They named it "Paulele" which means to believe, have faith and trust. I was very lucky to spend my early childhood here in Hanalei, and it is now my pleasure help you realize your dream Hanalei vacation in our home.
Why they chose this property
At Paulele, the beach is always just a few steps away any time of day. Whether an early morning stroll, a mid-day swim or surf, or a gorgeous sunset, it's all right out in front of you. The proximity to the bay makes spontaneous dips in the warm water so much easier, without the hassle of loading up the car. If you need groceries or want to treat yourself to a dinner out, no need to get in the car either - Just walk into town and it's all there. We love our location for these and many reasons!
What makes this property unique
We have a covered full-size shuffleboard court, horseshoes, bocce ball, badminton, and croquet - all for you to enjoy right there in our fantastic yard. Expansive deck space, both sunny and covered, with lounge chairs and a hammock waiting for you. High-speed wifi throughout the home with Roku/TVs in every room with our complimentary Hulu + live TV package for your enjoyment.
